Hi,
I guess the variables he really wants to go are those sitting in the browser cache, not those sitting in the movie player

There are two witch's brooms
if you load from a textfile, you can put some random?stuff=xyz tyoe onto the end of the url so that the browser dioes not recognize it as the same thimg
you can use anti-cache heders if you load variables from a server script rather than a text file
With a server script you can also make sure that at least one variable is POSTed to the server - if the browser still caches the response, it does something terribly wrong
